CHILDREN’S LITURGY OF THE WORD There will be no Liturgy of the Word for Children this Sunday due to the half term break. We will return on Sunday 10th November at 9.30am Mass. Liturgy of the Word for Children is aimed at children aged 4-7 years old (reception to year 3) therefore the prayers, readings and discussion reflect that of the Liturgy of the Word in Mass but a simplified version with this age group in. We would love more leaders to help us! If you would like more information please see Lisa, Evka or Laurent after Mass.
PARISH PASTORAL COUNCIL Following the recent Parish Council meeting, it has been agreed that we will start with four new Focus groups. These will be set up to help organise and manage key activities for the parish. Invitations to join the groups are open to all. Please return the flyer with your details.

Please contact Yvonne in the Parish office on 01628 605764, or via email using this link to arrange an appointment to register your child. Parents will need to complete an enrolment form.
If your child was Baptised in another Parish, you will need to bring with you a copy of the child’s Baptism certificate, if you cannot find it, you will need to contact the Parish where your child was Baptised and obtain a copy before registering. The maximum amount of children we can take is 88, if we reach that number by the deadline then any latecomers will have to wait until 2021. The First Holy Communion classes will begin in February 2020 and will be held in St Andrew’s on Saturday mornings.
